The picture was to show another lady behind a window. An old lady looking down to the street. Maybe waiting for a relative, or a friend. Maybe just curious what happened outside. Some houses even have special mirrors next to the windows for the people to look down on the street.
But as you can see the lady is perfectly hidden by the curtains. So do as we did, and don't take pictures !! Leave a Comment

 Yeah baby.... by LolaSanFrancisco
Don't bring anything with you if your going cruzen for whores in the red light district at night, just the money honey. Keep your head clear (as clear as you can be) and keep your money back in your hotel safe, bring enough for some loven and leave the place like you left it. Pack it out baby!
Here is the lowdown: Prostitution has been legal in the Netherlands since Napoleon made it so in 1815 and in 1996 the Dutch government started to tax it. According to statistics there are now more than 25000 prostitutes in the Netherlands and over half of these are said to be illegal immigrants. Sex always involves a condom and costs around 50 euros for oral and then full sex. There are also many brothels, both low and high class. In high-class brothels such as Yab Yums sex can cost upwards of 150 euros an hour. Leave a Comment

I wanted to see the Red Light District. I didn't believe everybody who had been there when they said what it was really like. Um...it is. Be prepared for nudity in the windows and the many, many sex shops. Be careful taking pictures of the women in the window. That can cause a fight. I don't recommend going at night. We went during the day and we didn't stay long. Long enough for me to say I went. Leave a Comment

It is probably the most known fact, but anyway...no photos in Red light area, if you want to see your camera again!! Except the Old church, of course :-)))))
During the day RLD is quite safe, when gets dark, it is better not go alone. Leave a Comment

I think a trip-one or two- are worth taking just to see the show. It is for free, but do not take pictures. Someone may come out of the booth/house and chase you down, and do not gawk. So then, what is the attraction? Tourists walk slowly up one side of the street and down the other and keep theri head down so as not to stare, or be noticed. Well, that is not my idea of fun. It is pretty sleezy and feels dingy on the streets, and would not venture into some of the establishments for a drink, or whatever. Wtch out for bumping and your wallet walking away.

When walking around Red light District you will see signs NO PHOTOS. Take them seriously unless you run really fast :) If you try to take photos of the girls in the RLD, you are just calling for your camera to get smashed (if not yourself). Leave a Comment

Well, I had the chance to stay in the Red Light District, in Amsterdam. Now, if there's any place you're going to be victim to a violent crime, it's right in the RLD. The fact is though, it's quite safe. The key here is to keep moving, don't stand around. You're going to be approached by numerous drug dealers, homeless and just plain crazies. Just keep it cool and you shall be all right. You'll begin to find it funny how often you're offered 'coca, coca' or 'ecstacy'. As for the rest of Amsterdam, it's all pretty safe, but you must use caution at all times during the day. Don't be dumb and don't worry, just be cool. Leave a Comment
